Figure 2

Schematic diagram of the neuro-musculoskeletal model. Parameters g l,m and g v,m are the gains of the length and velocity feedback of muscle m, τ l,m and τ v,m are the time constants and k m is the reflex modulation factor of muscle m , which is a function of the gait cycle. l ˜ m and v ˜ m are the normalized muscle length and velocity. The α-motor neuron (α-MN) receives input from the muscle spindle feedback pathways (length and velocity FB), the central nervous system (CNS) and other non-modeled feedback pathways (other FB).
